Posts about My Thought Counts/OTX Surveys Pls Read 1st Post!

[m 'n c]

My DH was doing a tire survey tonight and was about 15 minutes into it and it asked how long he expected tires to last. He put in a realistic answer and it took him to the "unfortunately" page!

He's not too happy! :computer:

Weird we had that one last night and had no problems. Credit on the hour. Wonder what went wrong.

[marcymajor]

i am beginning to hate otx surveys again. i tried to do one this morning around 8:30 and it said to come back in an hour, so i went back at 9:30 and it said i had reached my limit for the day and it has been saying that same thing all morning and i have not taken one since yesterday morning. it is now almost 11:30 and i still can't get an otx survey. UGH!!!!!!!!!!:computer::computer::computer:

[cuppycakemom]

I did the tire survey last night for OTX and it was fine for us as well. Crazy OTX.

I do have a question, though (something i probably missed while out of town)...what's the deal with the AMP surveys and how do they relate to OTX....in that, can you do both of them each day?

Since I did the OTX one late last night, it won't let me do an AMP one right now....do I just need to clear cookies, or are we only allowed to do ONE or the OTHER each day? Color me clueless....

We have never received any guidance on these at all. Since we don't offer the AMP one very often, I'm fine with people doing both as long as you don't do the same survey.

[cuppycakemom]

THANKS TRICIA for the quick explanation. I'll keep trying on the AMP one after I clear some cookies and see what happens.

[mjjmbnmm]

I had the same problem doing the amp survey, it froze up and now it wno't let me do another, it's saids I exceeded my daily limit.:(

Same here.........it stated I "paused" it this morning, but I hit nothing except "next" as indicated. Since then I've been unable to do either the AMP or OTX surveys, despite clearing cookies, etc. I think I'm going to do a good cleaning on the computer, then see what happens.

[mom2ian]

The AMP survey wouldn't let me take one because it hasn't been 24 hours since I did the OTX, but DH got one (used different email address). It said it would take 20 min and go through a "partner" site, but it didn't take that long, super easy on the environment. Now to see if it credits.

[Mom2aPrincess]

Tried this morning and just now again and I'm getting this message for AMP...any ideas?

Interesting........I'm getting the same exact thing for both the AMP and OTX surveys. I just went in and used ccleaner plus AdAware, logged back in, but the message is the same. No OTX survey for this household since 3/31/08. Using the same e-mail addy each time and the same demographics...:confused:

I've done ccleaner and ie cookie cleaning too...think I'm going to try one more cleanup and then restart my computer too.

[mollyeilis]

Squeeee! I not only got into the AMP survey, not only got through it, but I got credit for it!!!!!!


While I was working on getting into a survey I got a message that my session was invalid (in pretty red letters even) blah blah blah...I went back a few pages to where it had a "click for a new survey" button, clicked it, and it actually went to something new. So for me the invalid message wasn't "fatal", not like that sort of message has been for DH trying the OTX surveys.

[Blessing and Miracle]

:confused: I did an AMP survey the other day for the first time, but it wasn't questions are like the other surveys, but it was only offers. It's still sitting in my pending list. Can I remove it and try again? And, should the survey be like GF and the others? Please help! I did do a search in the forum the other day but nothing came up!

[Mom2aPrincess]

Did that clean again with
1. IE's just delete cookie instructions
2. ccleaner
3. downloaded and tried: MilFreeInternet Erase

Restarted Computer and just finished amp survey...now to see if it credits!

The AMP survey I did looked *exactly* like the OTX surveys, with the "burton snowboards" or "sephora/shop bop package" things to click on, and the same appearance of the surveys (until I got into it, then it looked different). At the end, after it thanked me, it did go into a more "offer"-looking thing, and just for fun I went through it to the end like I would with an offer...don't know if I needed to but I did and it credited at the hour.

[speechteachri]

:computer:I just tried to get both surveys, but both came up with a message to the effect that they had filled all the surveys for the day??????!!!!

this is what I get:

There are no surveys available at this time.

We’re sorry, but all of our available surveys have received the necessary number of participants at this time and are now closed. We apologize for any inconvenience. Please be sure to keep an eye out for our next survey invitation!

Thank you for taking the time to share your opinion.


Anyone else get this? Now I tried again, but I put in an e-mail address and I got the message:

Yeah, that's the way mine started off, but instead of it going to a "survey" it went straight to offers! Since it was my first time attempting an AMP, I didn't know what to expect. Perhaps, they all out of surveys that day. I'll give it another try. Thanks for the info.:)

Me too. I've been getting that all day on both.

[Mom2aPrincess]

Me too. I've been getting that all day on both.

I was getting that this morning...I did a thorough cookie cleaning out TWICE and then restarted the computer and it went away.

[mollyeilis]

Weird we had that one last night and had no problems. Credit on the hour. Wonder what went wrong.

With that survey (tires), do you remember if the miles question was the last one? We didn't get a "sorry" message, but it finished right after that question...

(I cannot believe DH actually got an OTX to work, though, regardless if it credits!)

[m 'n c]

Yup it asked how many miles you realistically think tires should last and then thanks for taking the survey.

[mollyeilis]

Terrific, thanks! We were surprised as to how abruptly it ended. :p

[andrea2289]

I did an AMP survey yesterday. I got to the end when it said congratulations but I never got credit. GRRR I was trying this whole survey thing again (seeing that I never have the patience LOL) - So this was not a good way to restore my faith in surveys LOL :computer: But I shall still try :p

[cherbear]

Me too. I've been getting that all day on both.

same here! I haven't tried yet today but here's hopin'!

Make sure you clear cookies (and your computer accepts them) before you do the surveys and keep trying. They really do credit most of the time and your balance grows so fast it's amazing with the surveys.

[andrea2289]

:sunshine2: My faith is restored!! My daily from yesterday AND my AMP that I just did a little while ago both credited!!

Thanks SR :cooldance:

[mollyeilis]

Well that's a helpful message!


Welcome Back! We appreciate your enthusiasm and your frequent visits. Unfortunately, we can only accept one entry every 24 hours. If you would like to take part in additional surveys and increase your chances of winning, please come back in 7 hours.

The bold is mine. :) Helpful of them!

[mollyeilis]

Wow, OTX is being good to me so far this month. :sunshine:

[Mom2aPrincess]

I'm having fairly good luck with all the surveys right now. :sunshine2:

[MdCaterer]

Has anyone else gotten the movie surveys??? Yesterday it was a really long one with tons of movie trailers and at the end it froze and NO CREDIT. Today it was one about renting or buying DVD's of current movies. I got all the way to the end and the FINAL question froze AND you guessed it...no credit. GRRRRRRRRR

I think it has something to do with our computers and/or Internet connections. I have had some of the same problems you mention if I take an OTX at my house, but when I'm at my parents' house, they perform perfectly and I get credit pretty much every time.

I have to agree, I get a lot with video's and clips and they never (KNOCK ON WOOD) freeze up on me. I think one time it happened (just recently) and it was with a DS that other's had been complaining about freezing on them.

[coastalgirl]

I got the one with the movie trailers and it worked fine for me.

[iluvamystery89]

i just cannot get one of these! i try over & over but never get accepted! is there a trick to it?

[Mom2aPrincess]

Persistance...keep trying. And be sure you are putting an email address in even though it says optional. I wasn't getting a survey for a long time, and then someone mentioned that tip.

[JillyFish]

Is anyone else having trouble getting into the OTX surveys this morning? It takes FOREVER to load and then says the page is not available or something.

Or is it just me?

You're not alone, I'm having the same problem.

[lucymews]

Same here!:confused:

[Alice28]

I'm wondering if OTX is having a problem or two- I still don't have credit from a survey I did at 7:45 or so Pacific time last night....

[mollyeilis]

Yay, got an OTX survey and it credited. :)

[marcymajor]

congrats to you - i think that is great.:clap:

[marcymajor]

what is wrong with otx surveys today? the first time i tried to do one i got the spiel that there were no surveys available, then i tried again and got the line that i had used an invalid link, on the next try my computer died in the middle of one (it took forever to load anyway) and now is says i have exceeded my limit for the day. i haven't even done 1 yet today and now i can't do one at all. not a great way to start the day. UGH & GROAN.:computer::computer::computer:

[IckyMickey]

My DH had a very odd survey last night asking him what things he was passionate about, moral issues (doing and selling drugs, etc) which took about 1/2 hours. Very strange.

In the end, he didn't get credit for it. Ugh!

[MooseBrains]

I just completed and entire survery about high speed internet and price for life, about 30 minutes and when I put my age in it said I didn't qualify??? I think I will just stick with the daily.

[marcymajor]

don't you just hate that - you spend a lot of time and energy on a survey and at the end of it all they say you don't qualify. it kinda makes you wonder what they were looking for in the first place after you answered all of their questions and gave them your honest opinion. sometimes otx surveys are just plain evil but tomorrow is another day.:sunshine:

[Mom2aPrincess]

We learned a while back that you have to pretend your birthday is January 1 so you actually claim you're a year older.

[marcymajor]

i just got the weirdest email ever from ampario (amp/otx surveys) this afternoon. it said thank you for entering our sweepstakes and if you want to enter again come back in 24 hours. i tried to do an otx survey this morning and my computer died in the middle of it and then when i tried to do another one it said that i had reached my limit for the day. i did not even move my thought counts to pending as i did not get to finish it or get the thank you page so getting this email was a little odd. has anyone else ever received an email like this or am i the only strange one around here?:confused:

My DH had the same one. Sorry you didn't get credit though. I'm so glad ours did, that was pretty long. We had one end very abrubtly the other night, didn't even go through the normal demographic questions at the end, was very surprised to get credit for it. I think it was about cars.

[PrincessFiona]

We learned a while back that you have to pretend your birthday is January 1 so you actually claim you're a year older.

What if that puts you into a different and older age bracket?

[sammielynn]

Still put in the age you will be this year. Say I put that my birth year is 1960 but my birthday is not until June still put that you are 48 not 47.

[lanny76]

Still put in the age you will be this year. Say I put that my birth year is 1960 but my birthday is not until June still put that you are 48 not 47.

Yes, apparently their program takes things quite literally, as in 2008-1960 is 48, therefore that should be the number you put in! It can't seem to be fixed to take into account when your birth month might be. Mine is November, but for OTX I have to put in that I am 32 all year, even tho I actually will not be until then. Just a funny thing to remember about OTX. However, most surveys I have done I am not even asked about my age.

[iluvamystery89]

a couple of questions....i THINK i finally completed an OTX survey-i got the page that thanks you for taking the survey and blah, blah blah "your opinion is valuable" etc. then it changed to eversave and started with the offers...did i get this thing done? if i did, any idea when it will credit?

[marcymajor]

it should hopefully credit on the hour.:sunshine:

[iluvamystery89]

that'd be awesome! ty for responding :)

[marcymajor]

have you checked yet to see if it credited? i hope for your sake that it does. have a great evening.:sunshine:

[iluvamystery89]

have you checked yet to see if it credited? i hope for your sake that it does. have a great evening.:sunshine:

i got it! :cooldance: this is especially exciting since i did 4 offers today and NOTHING credited, lol. thank you :) you have a great evening too! :sunshine2:

[marcymajor]

i'm really glad that you got credit for it - that is terrific:clap:

[Alice28]

i got it! :cooldance: this is especially exciting since i did 4 offers today and NOTHING credited, lol. thank you :) you have a great evening too! :sunshine2:

keep in mind the SR family is vacationing. a lot of credits aren't going to come thru until Tricia and Cindy are back. :sunshine2: Congrats on getting an OTX!

[iluvamystery89]

keep in mind the SR family is vacationing. a lot of credits aren't going to come thru until Tricia and Cindy are back. :sunshine2: Congrats on getting an OTX!

yep :sunshine2: that's why i was doing the quick crediting ones-still no luck. ah well, tomorrow's another day. at least i got the OTX! :cooldance:

[penn19]

Just took an OTX survey on a food item. Watched all the advertising, listened to stuff through my speakers. Then it asked me the classification questions (getting towards the end yay....) and then it switched topics and asked me about how often I watch tv, what days, times etc....then it said sorry you do not qualify. THAT was frustrating.

[luvhockey]

I HATE SURVEYS!!!!!

Thanks for letting me get that off my chest.

[daninyc]

WAHOO!!! After 2 days I finally got another one! :)

[luvdisney00]

For the past week or so, every time I try for an OTX I get a box that says there are no surveys, thank you for your time. I'm getting nervous about this because it reminds me of the GF lockout. Is my demo all used up EVERYDAY or did I do something to make them hate me??????:confused:

[marcymajor]

no, i don't think you would have done anything to make them hate you. that has happened to me a couple of times lately so i have gone in and completely cleared my cookies, restarted my computer and tried again. sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't. just keep trying and hopefully you will be able to qualify for a survey. keep smiling and have a great day.:sunshine:

Are you putting in an email address? I was getting this box every time, but once I started putting in my email, I was able to get to the surveys. Hope that helps. Good luck!:)

That was it, I just tried it with my email and i got in. Of course I then got booted out of 3 surveys in a row LOL, but at least I'm not banned or anything.

Thanks!

[pbhall13]

I'm going to have to try that email trick...yesterday I almost hit the trifeca of surveys, but OTX would not let me in!!!!!

[marcymajor]

that happened to me yesterday also with otx, but i did get the trifecta today for a change.:cooldance:

[lanny76]

that happened to me yesterday also with otx, but i did get the trifecta today for a change.:cooldance:

So glad you had some good luck!!:woohoo:

[marcymajor]

thanks - everyone could use some good luck every now and again and i appreciate your words. have a great day.:sunshine:

[cherbear]

I took one between 4 and 5, and didn't get credited :(

I went back to try another, and I am getting this msg:

Welcome Back! We appreciate your enthusiasm and your frequent visits. Unfortunately, we can only accept one entry every 24 hours. If you would like to take part in additional surveys and increase your chances of winning, please come back in 23 hours. Until then, please enjoy these special offers we have selected specifically for you.
Thank you.

So I know I did it. But where is my credit? :( I hope I'm not the only one because maybe there is hope for me after all. I did one yesterday and didn't have ANY problems whatsoever. Now that I REALLY wanted to get one for the contest, I have an issue. BAH humbug!

[jnorth1007]

If you didn't clear your cookies before taking the one today then you won't get credit. These are tracked by cookies. You would need to go in and clear your cookies and then try again. However, since you have to keep using the same address it may not let you try another one today since according to the program you have completed one today. If you did clear cookies before you took this one and after you took the one yesterday then you may have hope that it will credit on the next hour. If it doesn't then there is an issue on your end that your cookie wasn't there at the end of the survey so you could get credit. Most of the time when people don't get credit it is because they didn't clear cookies first and the system recognized the cookie from the last survey they took. HTH!

[cherbear]

thanks Janet. I normally don't have a problem getting credit even if I don't clear my cookies every day. I've been doing really well this month. I wouldn't be so upset if it wasn't the fact that there's only 2 days in this contest and I missed my chance for the OTX credit today. I took mine yesterday during the day so I couldn't get in the contest with that one either. Bummer!

[jnorth1007]

Just so that everyone knows, if you are getting credit without clearing cookies it is a fluke. It could be that your computer is clearing them for you automatically because I can tell you that you should not be getting credit without removing the previous cookie. If you guys want to be sure that you get credit then go in and clear cookies first. If you don't want to do that then you will have to deal with the fact that they won't credit quite often. HTH!

I second what Janet said, these you HAVE to clear cookies each day to get credit. I make it a point to clear them every morning before I start.

[Mom2aPrincess]

Yea. I clear cookies each morning when I turn my computers on.

[OhMari]

but i did get the trifecta today for a change.What survey is this?

I haven't gotten an OTX for the last 4 days. I keep getting the message, sorry no survey's for you, you must be doing survey's on other sites. Plus I have always gotten credit for OTX's without clearing cookies. But today I just cleared everything up and I am going to go try again.

[m 'n c]

It means they got the Daily survey, SM survey, and OTX survey all in the same day.

Additionally, OTX recently changed and you have to enter an email address even if it states its optional. It is now there way of tracking us and how often we do surveys. They are now on a strict 24 hour timer and will let you know if you are too early.

I agree with Janet and April above -> if you don't clear cookies you run the risk of the surveys not crediting. I have had that happen to me twice now so I clear before trying. Glad it worked for you in the past but apparently OTX has made some changes so we all need to adapt as well.

[iluvamystery89]

ack! i wish i'd read this BEFORE i took the OTX today! i just finished it and i know i forgot to clear cookies this morning!

[m 'n c]

First post has been taken over by the Mods. It now contains important info regarding OTX surveys. Hope this helps.

[deana]

Today I was trying to qualify for one, and after several tries, got the "limit of surveys in our system" message, even though I have not done one. :computer:

[mollyeilis]

OTX recently changed and you have to enter an email address even if it states its optional.

They are now on a strict 24 hour timer and will let you know if you are too early.

Also if you want to avoid being called a cheater or dishonest you must add 1 year to your birthday in 2008 even if your birthday hasn't passed. OTX has a glitch in their system they have not fixed that assumes we were all born on January 1st and we are all 1 year older. So for example, my birthday is in September and it is April. Obviously my birthday hasn't passed but OTX says it has so I add 1 year to my age and voila! no problems!


FWIW, they now have the little button next to email marked red, meaning it's one of the "required fields". I noticed the other day those little checkboxes for signing up were gone, and just realized that email was marked required now.

They sure are on a timer! But they are very very HELPFUL, in that their message tells you when to come back! I've been writing down the time I finish survey (and survey/offer hybrids like OTC, lol) but still, it's nice that they do that.

I can't help but mention that if your birthday HAS passed, don't add a year. If you've had this year's b'day, you're golden. :p

[marcymajor]

what is wrong with otx surveys today? i have been trying since 6 this morning and first i get the page cannot be displayed and when i hit refresh i get the spiel about reaching my limit for the day. how is that possible as i have not done one since early yesterday morning. this is so frustrating and UGH!!!:computer::computer::computer:

This has happened to me for 2 days now. It keeps saying that I have reached my limit and I have not done one since Wed. morning. Cookies are cleared, information is valid....not sure what the deal is....

[marcymajor]

i didn't have any problem with getting one yesterday so i have no idea why this is happening. i too have cleared out all my cookies and used the same email address so i guess i am going to give up on otx at least for today as it is not worth the hassle. i hope you have a good day.:sunshine:

[deana]

Yeah! I got one! I used my regular email address instead of my gmail address. Not sure if that is how it worked for me this time, or if it was just luck.

[iluvamystery89]

if you're trying to get into otx and it's not working b/c it says you've reached the limit when you know you haven't-perhaps clearing cookies and trying another e-mail address (if you have one) might work? just a thought...

[marcymajor]

i did both of those things and i am still not having any luck - i guess it's just not my day for otx surveys. maybe tomorrow will be a better day (keep your fingers crossed). thanks anyway and have a great day.:sunshine:

[iluvamystery89]

hmm...i'm sorry it didn't work. that was my only bright idea, lol. maybe if you wait an hour or two and try again? ty and you have a great day as well :sunshine2:

[luvdisney00]

I di an OTX yesterday and it did not credit:( I cleared cookies and di everything right, but I guess you win some you lose some. That rarely happens so what can you do? I just finished a LONG one this morning on breakfast foods and now I'm hungry and have to go eat!!! Hope when i come back it'll credit!

YEA! it credited, and I just broke $300 on my balance!!!!

I didn't get credit yesterday either. And I can't take one yet today - says I have to wait 3 more hours which is 24 hrs since I took the survey yesterday. Oh well. Glad to know I'm not the only one!

[MooseBrains]

At first it said to check back in 6 hours but I tried again and it said I exceeded the maximum but I didn't take another survey:confused: Now do I have to wait 24 hours!

[missymouse]

Do you do surveys or click on e-mails for any other reward sites? If you do they will count because they track differently than GF so even if you just click on a link to a OTX survey sometimes it will think you did a survey. That happens to me occassionally

[MooseBrains]

Thanks, I will remember not to get impatient and keep going back until after the time they say.

[Mandi]

Got a super quick one on beverages and milk. Hopefully it'll credit. I think the thing only lasted like 5 minutes. I love those kind! :love:

ETA: It did credit! :)

[marcymajor]

i started an otx survey this morning and my computer lost the connection so i got out of it, cleared out my cookies and my temp files and now it says i have reached my limit for the day. how crappy is that. UGH.:computer::computer::computer:

[MdCaterer]

Has anyone else been having trouble with the OTX surveys going offline or to an error page???? This was happening to me everytime when I was using my computer that runs on Vista. Now it seems to doing it on my computers running XP (not disconnecting but constantly going to error pages). I figued it was just Wimdows Vista but it is happening more and more on any computer :(

[marcymajor]

that happened to me a couple of times this morning so i hit refresh and the survey continued along and i completed it and got credit for it. try refreshing the page a few times as it worked for me and hopefully it will work for you too. i'll keep my fingers crossed for you that it works and you get credit for the survey. keep smiling.:sunshine:

[lanny76]

Earlier I had a survey that stuck, but refreshing it didn't work. I was able to go back one page and try to continue again, but same thing. It just didn't work, and then I got the message that I had exceeded the daily limit - errr! So I waited a few hours, got a survey, and now it has not credited as usual. This does not seem to be my day with any of the surveys!!:computer:

[marcymajor]

i'm sorry that you are having such a bad day with surveys - i can totally relate and empathize with you. today is another day and we can always hope that there will be a survey for everyone. keep smiling.:sunshine:

[Chris]

I did a Amp survey around 11:00 this morning I had forgot to put it in my pending. It has not credited to my account as of yet. Did it not credit cause I did not put it in my pending? I did get the thank you page at the end.

Even if you don't put something into pending, it should credit as usual. This one credits by cookies, so I'm not sure what happened. :(

I had one like that yesterday, I was supposed to watch a video but it would not play and it said it loaded. Then it wouldn't let me do another one saying I had exceeded the limit. Today I got a great one that only took 10 min. and it credited without a problem. You win some, you lose some.

[lrsellars]

Are AMP surveys ones that can be taken every day?

[mom2prettyprincess]

I know that I am probably looking at it everyday, but where can I find the OTX survey? Maybe I am just having a duh moment, let me know if I am!!!:type:

[disney_girl]

I usually get to it from "Offers/ Contests" and then "All Offers". It is listed as MyThoughtsCount/ OTX. HTH

[mom2prettyprincess]

See, as soon as you told me! I was like duh!!!

[daninyc]

Are AMP surveys ones that can be taken every day?

I thought you could, but every time I go to it where it says received credit it still says yes. It used to let me take them.

[sammielynn]

I also got one today that just took maybe 7 minutes and it credited on the hour. My kind of survey!

[jtowner]

Anyone not getting the link to do a OTX survey today, mine still had not dropped in? Thanks for any elp.:angel:

[MooseBrains]

I just took an OTX survey for a movie and I will go see the movie when it comes out! Now let's see if I get the credit.

[mollyeilis]

Got one on insurance, and it credited.

I love getting into a survey and finishing it up only a few minutes before the hour (though today was a bit stressful as I finished it and threw it into pending (not that putting it in pending is necessary, I believe) about 30 seconds before the hour, LOL). No waiting! :p

I barely ever try for OTX surveys, b/c they are so frustrating (if I get that one about videogames, which I NEVER qualify for (nor should I) but it takes way too many pages to be disqualified, one more time I'm going to screech!), so it's really nice when I try, get one, and it credits. :sunshine:

[Blessing and Miracle]

I completed one on my local newspaper and after getting the thank you for completing this survey page, it went to sorry there was an error.:confused:

It is allowing me to take another one, but after 45 mins. of doing that one I' rather wait until later this evening to try again.

[AdventurerKat]

Can you do one of these each daily? And if so, how do you get it so it doesn't think you already took one (OTX), even though you took it through another company?

[iluvamystery89]

i take the MTC/OTX surveys daily...the AMP shows as a YES credit for me, so i don't think i can do it again. it looks like it was just a paid signup.

[Mom2aPrincess]

For the MTC or OTX surveys, be sure you are clearing cookies every day thoroughly and you should be able to do them at least every 24 hours. That 75 cents a day adds up really fast!

[cglaura]

Can you do one of these each daily? And if so, how do you get it so it doesn't think you already took one (OTX), even though you took it through another company?

I think you can only do one or the other each day. SR offers MTC/OTX daily, but the AMP are only put up only once in awhile. So if you are doing the AMP from another company, you won't be able to get MTC/OTX here b/c it is only 1 per 24 hours (AMP & MTC both get the OTX surveys...which are 1/24 hours...)

HTH!

[AdventurerKat]

Thank you.

So if AMP is up, that one seems worth more and I should do it instead of the MTC/OTX one. O.k.

[daninyc]

Grrr. I got one that was closed. Went to try again and said I had reached the maximum for the day. :computer:

[deana]

anyone getting redirected to canada surveys today when you click on my thought counts??? I tried to get one this morning but was too early for my "window"...now I am redirected to a signup for canada surveys. GRR...hate when i get an otx later in the day...each day i am later and later til i lose a day

[marcymajor]

i have been trying since about 2:30 this afternoon to get an otx survey and now i am getting a message in a box that says i'm sorry an unexpected error has occurred and we are sorry for the inconvenience. what's up with that? i guess i won't be doing an otx survey today as it is getting too late to do one. well, there is always tomorrow. have a good day everybody.:sunshine:

[SunshineGirl]

How odd. I tried about 2:30 and got one on breakfast foods. The credit came through just fine at 3. I wonder if it is because I haven't taken one in a couple of weeks?

[luvmickey]

How long does it take for credit to show up with an OTX survery? I did my first one today and I have no idea when and how I will know if I got credit for it.

[MooseBrains]

I use to do surveys in the morning but got busy at work and did an OXT in afternoon, now I have to wait each afternoon to take it. I am ready to go back onto the morning schedule.

Do I just skip a day? I hate to loose the money when I working hard to get SM status.

[marcymajor]

otx surveys usually credit on the hour depending upon when you finish it. if you finished it before 3 it should hopefully credit by 3. i hope this info helps.:sunshine:

[JillyFish]

Today I just kept getting the "Sorry you don't qualify, would you like to try another survey" screen without even answering any questions. That happened a couple times and then I was told I had exceeded the daily limit.

:computer: Geesh, I didn't even get to try!

[askomsky]

I use to do surveys in the morning but got busy at work and did an OXT in afternoon, now I have to wait each afternoon to take it. I am ready to go back onto the morning schedule.

Do I just skip a day? I hate to loose the money when I working hard to get SM status.

Yes, I have to do that usually once every 10 days or so bc I end up so late that I don't want to so I'll skip a day and get back on early. Like Friday I skipped bc thurs I couldn't get one until 8pm, so first thing Sat morning I took one at 6am. Sunday I got one at 7am but this morning at 8am it still said I was too late so I had to wait until i took the girls to school at 10am and it credited at 11am. So tomorrow I'll either get in at 11 or 12, we'll see.

[arob414]

I got all the way to the end then got the unexpected error message. When I tried to do another survey, I was told to come back in 22 hours (I had to leave and couldn't try, again, for awhile). But, no credit. Bummer. :( I understand error problems but don't really understand why if they know I did one, why it didn't credit. Oh, well, you win some, you lose some. I'll be back, tomorrow, to try, again.

[marcymajor]

i have been trying since yesterday to get an otx survey and i didn't get one yesterday at all and i am trying today and i keep getting the message that i have exceeded my limit. how is that possible if i haven't done one since sunday? i am totally and utterly confused.:confused:

[daninyc]

Have you tried clearing your cookies?

[marcymajor]

i always clear my cookies before i do any surveys (thanks for mentioning it though) so i still do not know what the problem is. appreciate your help.:sunshine:

[daninyc]

I hear ya! My browser dumps cookies every time I close it, so when I have an issue with a survey I want to :computer: lol

[zummi525]

i hear you i have gotten the same message and havent gotten a survey since saturday it keeps telling me i have exceeded my limits

[spring]

Yay! Finally got one on electronics today, the first one in 3 days!:sunshine:

[MooseBrains]

Hi,

I get so much spam now that I have set up a new email addy for surveys. I just did an OTX with my new addy yesterday and today but I didn't get credit yet.

Should I go back to using my old addy? Will I get credit with the new email?

I thought I was done asking questions but I guess not. Still learning.

[MooseBrains]

I see I did get credit for today but not for yesterday? I am just happy to get what I have.

[lanny76]

Got one yesterday and it didn't credit:( I think I learned that you had better always go ALL the way thru the offers at the end! I thot I would see if it credited if I didn't - and it didn't.
Now today of course I get the maximum exceeded message. I really wish that OTX would change their system to let you take one between midnight and midnight - would be so much better than having to wait one hour later each day until you have to skip a day to get back on an earlier rotation. Or at least let you take one exactly 24 hours after you finished the other not 24 hours after it credits. Oh well.

[kayjo]

i hear you i have gotten the same message and havent gotten a survey since saturday it keeps telling me i have exceeded my limits

You have to be careful where you take the OTX surveys. If you take one on any other survey site or rewards program you will receive this message when you try to take it through SR.

[KJFAE]

Thanks for all the info on here - I was just checking to see if anyone else has trouble w/ the OTX ones not crediting - I've had 2 this week not credit, including the one from yesterday. Now, at least I'll try clearing cookies every time to see if that fixes it.

[llgray16]

I've had several this month not credit - including the one tonight! I don't take any surveys through other sites so I have no idea what is going on! Very frustrating.

[SunshineGirl]

Kind of strange. We actually had some of our biggest totals this week in terms of the number of people in one day who got credits. I'll make sure that it isn't anything on our end.

[mjjmbnmm]

I've had 3 not credit this month including yesterdays.

[llgray16]

I've had 3 not credit this month including yesterdays.

Tonight equals 4 for me :( Oh well, at least most of them have credited.

[DooDahDay]

I'm trying to figure out the amp thing also. I did one on Thursday and it credited almost immediately. I did a different (and VERY time consuming) Amp on Friday and no credit. Are these hit or miss like the "offers"? If so, I don't think i will bother with them.

[Alice28]

I took 1 last night that did not credit. But the .85 one this AM did! So, I am happy that one did at least, but bummed about yesterdays.

[Mom2aPrincess]

Do you mean the MyThoughtCounts that are posted each day with a date?

[mollyeilis]

Woooo! Got a very long one on DVDs and movies and where I want to watch movies and I kept expecting to be kicked out b/c I always am, having only seen one movie in a theater this year (though I realized later that I've actually seen two), but I got it and it credited!!!!

[DooDahDay]

I mean the .90 Amp Surveys under the paid surveys link.

[whiterain]

That is great- glad you got your credits! That is what counts. Whiterain

[MooseBrains]

I was doing an OTX and it redirected me to a different window. It said to close the original window when the new one opened. I did finish the survey and it took me to AMP but I don't know what will happen.

It was about cell phone/MP3/digital cameras.

[tarheelpat]

I know I have to have the same person (me, in my case) doing the daily and super member surveys, but is this also the rule for the OTX. I'm consistently getting the same survey, which I don't qualify for, over and over. I'm pretty sure one of my sons would qualify. Is this allowed?

[iluvamystery89]

i was looking through some offers and i saw the MTC/OTX survey listed and it said i hadn't received credit for today, but i've already taken one and received credit. is this just a glitch or am i eligible again for some reason? :confused:

[lanny76]

I saw something like that too - but I didn't worry, as I had already received credit, too. Maybe it just hasn't changed in the offers section for some reason. I'd bet if you tried to take another one, OTX would say you had already taken the maximum allowed!

[mom2prettyprincess]

I did the same one about digital camera's and MP3's and it should have been an .85 one and have not gotten credit for it. I suppose I wont get credit for it will I?:confused:

[iluvamystery89]

i'm sure you're right, lol. thanks for responding! :sunshine2:

[marcymajor]

what time did you finish it and did you go through all the offers from amp? if you finished it after 6 it should credit at 7. sometimes it might credit after the second hour (if you finished it at 5) sometimes not. it just depends. i have found otx surveys have their own rules for when and if they credit so you never really know. i will however keep my fingers crossed for you that you get the 85 cents. try to keep smiling.:sunshine:

[mom2prettyprincess]

:(I did it yesterday morning sometime...And I don't recall if i went thru all the offers which I normally don't do and get credit. Do you think it could be because I used the link from my email account?

[marcymajor]

i don't see why that would make a difference as the email said to use the link in the email to do the survey so i really don't know why you did not get credit for it. the only thing i can say is try again and see if you get credit for it this time. i am truly sorry that you did not get your 85 cents.:sunshine:

[jnorth1007]

The problem is that the same person has to take ALL otx surveys. That doesn't have to be the same person who takes your daily surveys and your SM surveys but it has to be the same person taking them all the time. If you have already taken OTX surveys since the change over and recieved credit for one then I wouldn't change up. Just to clarify there can be three different people taking the three types of surveys but those three people have to use different email addresses and demographics and they have to continue to be the only ones to take the surveys they agreed to take so no swapping up to get more survyes.

[fourfoxesinpa]

Oh Geez! I just read this post and am really worried/confused. :eek: I know the same person has to take the SM consistently and I know the same person has to take the Daily survey. I've been so careful since the "Banning" not to mix them up. During that time, I remember reading about the MyThoughtsCount/OTX and never saw anything about the same person having to take that survey all the time. So, sometimes I took it, sometimes DH took it and who knows just how many emails I used. I never, however, took the same survey twice.

[askomsky]

Same here Jamie, I never remember hearing anything about OTX and even since the ban it goes between DH and I and I haven't had any problem. I just use my email addy and he uses his. But I also always put my email addy in from day 1 with OTX before they required it? I didn't think OTX followed the same rules as GF only that you can't (which OTX hasn't let me ) take the same survey more then once.

That's what we have done too. :eek:

[jnorth1007]

Don't worry too much about the OTX ones. I am sure that Tricia will post a clarification for us about wether or not that one can be taken by more than one person or using more than one email. It was my understanding that the rules would apply for all of the surveys but I have been known to be wrong at times. :rotfl: It could happen, really! No, really why are you laughing????

[SunshineGirl]

So far, we haven't heard anything about the OTX Surveys. So my main advice would be just to use caution and not go crazy. If you trade with someone on your house every now and again or use 2-3 emails in a month, you should be okay. But if you start changing your demographics multiple times each day just to get a survey or using multiple email addresses to do the same survey more than once, they will catch on and we will all be in trouble.

[lanny76]

For the last 3 months, DH and I have had our own separate addys and info for the OTX, and I guess I thot that since there never seemed to be an issue with this, that OTX didn't mind. I thot maybe their main thing was that only 1 survey per IP address be taken, perhaps. It does help that if I can get none with my info that it works with DH info. -- Seems that OTX has made some changes recently tho, like making the email addys mandatory. I hope that they will continue to allow 2 addys.

[spring]

Thanks for the clarification, Tricia. I do the GF surveys and DH does the OTX. Once in a great while, if he is having terrible luck, I will do an OTX. We each only use our own separate e-mail addys. I use the same addy for GF and whenever I do an occasional OTX survey. With this system, it doesn't seem to let either of us repeat a survey, so I don't feel like I'm cheating the system. We do get dry spells where we can't get one for a couple days (usually on weekends), but then they load new ones and we get lucky again. No matter what, each of us always uses the same demographics.

[amarazas]

Thanks for the clarification. If I would have to pick, DH will do the OTX... he seems to get more than I do on there.

[piglet-for-me]

Thanks for the clarification. If I would have to pick, DH will do the OTX... he seems to get more than I do on there.

Same in our house.

I think we'll just stick with him doing them. I'd hate to be the cause of any issues.

Thanks for the clarification.

[tarheelpat]

Thanks so much for the clarification. It's great news to hear that my young adult son and my teen can take these. Back before Greenfield limited us to one email, I could usually get one of them qualified when I couldn't. Plus they both like to do the surveys and take each question very seriously!

[iluvamystery89]

can't get one today...i don't drink alcohol and i don't play video games, so i guess i'm out of luck, lol.

[MKelley226]

Is there a link up today for these? I do not see one in my offer list, but I do see a couple new offers. I wouldn't be able to take the survey till later today anyways.

[iluvamystery89]

there's a daily link up on the 2nd page of the paid surveys section. i took one, but didn't get credit at the top of the hour.

[iluvamystery89]

finally got one and finished it about 11:45-:46, but it didn't credit at noon. guess i lost out.

[jtowner]

today the otx link did not dropped down into recent offers, so I went to links and did it, it did have a pending tab, but it would not go into pending mode, with either browser. I finished it at 12:40p did not credit at 1p. That must be something wrong today, anybody not have it dropped down today? Tahnsk for any help. I am confused today.

Jtowner

[SunshineGirl]

You can actually use the same OTX link over and over again now. It will allow you to get a credit every day. :)

[iluvamystery89]

mine's not in pending either. i went back to the listing and hit "move to pending" again, but it still won't move to the pending list. not sure if this has anything to do w/ the survey not crediting at the top of the hour, but something is wrong somewhere.

[jtowner]

Thanks for your answer, I think you are right something is wrong today. It happened before tht mine did not credit, then later in the day it did credit. Lets keep :sunshine:our fingers crossed.

[iluvamystery89]

i'm with ya! :sunshine2: here's hoping!

[marcymajor]

i just tried to do an otx survey and a page came up saying that the website could not be displayed - so i cleared out my cookies and temp files and tried again and now otx is saying i have reached my limit for the day (even though i didn't even start a survey). how is that possible?:confused::computer:

[marcymajor]

i finally got and completed an otx survey and i am having the same problem you all are having - it is not moving to my pending offers even though i finished the whole thing and got the thank you page. do you think it will credit or am i out of luck - that would be kind of awful since i had so many problems getting one today. please help me.:confused:

[jtowner]

Do you have ccleaner.com run that and then you can reopen your browser and it should let you in, use a different email also, it has you in for 24 hrs. Did your otx link drop in today, for me no and I did it and tried to put in into pending it would not go, and did not credit.

jtowner

[jtowner]

Mine did not either, I read a note said do a trouble ticket so they can check into why no credits. It was on the forum a heading from Trish that said OTX and no need to put them into pending any longer.

No need to file TTs anymore. We figured out the problem. :) It will probably just take a couple more hours for all of the credits to show up now.

[marcymajor]

thanks tricia for everything you do - you are what makes sr the best website on the net.:party:

[speechteachri]

I keep getting a message that I have already completed an OTX survey for this time period, but I didn't...I got booted out and did not qualify. Is this happening to anyone else?

The last OTX survey I did was actually AMP, and it was on 4/26!:confused:

Nevermind...found the link on the member page. Is it still listed with the offers?

[MooseBrains]

I have tried for almost an hour but I am tired. I hate doing them at nite and now I will go back to the am schedule which works better for me. No OTX for today!

[zummi525]

i dont know if it should be in technical issues or sm chat but i am putting it here in my pending offers it has the SM survey from sunday i didnt even know you could pend those so i was wondering what was going on and i did see that i didnt get credit for sundays but sometimes you win and sometimes you dont so it was okay

thanks so much in advance for your help

[T1nkrules]

As soon as I log in it takes me to thanks but no thanks and then the AMP screen...I used to get these fairly regularly and can't even try for one-just automatically says there is nothing and thanks :confused:

[deana]

I qualified for a survey today....reached a halfway point and it said I qualified for the rest...opened a second window...and got booted! Now I have "reached the maximum number of surveys in the system". Drat!! :computer: I needed to get that to credit today...I am hanging onto the big board at number 10!!!

[PSL1013]

Well I qualified to one...got to the end where they ask demographics stuff and then I get a screen that says....

Unexpected error

We’re sorry, but an unexpected error has occurred. We apologize for any inconvenience.

Thank you for taking the time to share your opinion.


Since it never took me to the congrats page, I know I won't get the credit and now it says that I can't take another one for 24 hours, what a waste of time! :( :computer:

[speechteachri]

OK, I think I must be losing it or something....but I have lost the link for the OTX surveys....has it moved. I looked around yesterday and today and can't find it.:confused:

never mind...found it.

[marcymajor]

it's located on the main page under todays news and deals. i hope this helps you find it.:sunshine:

[SunshineGirl]

It's also on the menu bar now under "Surveys" :)

[MooseBrains]

I have not been able to get a OTX for over two days. Please PM me with any suggestions or ideas.

Is it because I got them all last month?:confused:

[MdCaterer]

I was able to get quite a few last month but in the last week qualifying for OTX has been nearly impossible

[MooseBrains]

After several days of no OTX I did get one today for my teenager to take about a movie. Now she wants to see a movie!

[disney_girl]

Is OTX working ok for everyone else? The last one I completed was on May 1. I tried yesterday and today and got the message that I have exceeded the number of surveys allowed. Could that just mean that there aren't any surveys for me? I haven't completed any OTX (or any other type) anywhere but SR. I've cleared cookies and all that good stuff too!:confused:

[MooseBrains]

I got the same message today. It is weird for sure but I will try in about 8 hours and see if it is time table issue. I know they do have a 24 clock on the survey limit.

[iluvamystery89]

DD and i just completed one about a new movie. they wanted her opinion of it and she was excited, she's never been asked to take one before, lol.

[Mandi]

I've not had any problem at all with OTX. I've gotten one every day for the last few days. Sorry it's not working for you guys! I'd try clearing cookies and see if that helps.

I got a fairly interesting one today on "green" tv shows. Had a few enviromental questions and what I was doing. Pretty simple and interesting. It was around 15 minutes or so.

[marcymajor]

the last otx survey i did was yesterday morning at about 10:30 and i have been trying since about 11 today and i keep getting the message that i have exceeded my limit. how is that possible as i have not taken one in over 24 hours? i have cleared out all my cookies and deleted all my temp files so i do not know why this is happening. i am totally and utterly confused.:confused:

[luvmickey]

I am wondering if I have done something wrong, I have not been about to get one of thses surveys in a long time. It keeps giving me the same three or four tries and then says I don't quilify for any. One of the ones is a survey that I have already done and gotten credit for. I am still really new at this so I am not sure what is going on. I really want to do the surveys but I can't seem to get any.
I also have not been able to get a DS in about 3 days. Any help would be great. I have already learned so much from these boards! Thanks!!:)

Sometimes OTX is fussy. My household goes in streaks. I will go a week and get one every day and then go a week without one. So much of it depends on your demographics. We live in the midwest and I find that for the OTX surveys, no one wants to hear from a 30 year old educator from Wisconsin :rotfl: My husband does better than I do, he is old. hehehe. Not really but older than me and male.

my suggestion is to keep trying. Also, a lot of the surveys start the same way and are actually different so don;t back out if the first 2 or 3 questions are the same because you think it is the same survey, go a few more questions in. :) Good luck!

[luvmickey]

Thank you! It is just frustrating sometimes. I think I need more patience!!

[piglet-for-me]

I agree with bellanlivismom. I find with my husband's demographics, he can qualify once, maybe twice in a week for a survey. With mine, hardly ever do I qualify. I'm also a bit older than 30 (although I'm trying to convince my kids I'm 27 :rotfl: ), and my hubby is much older than 30 ;) .

Interesting though, I'm in the midwest and have an educator job as well. I wonder what's up with that?

i just totally completed an amp survey and got the thank you page but when i went to move it to pending it said that i had already completed this offer but the offer also says that you can take this survey again if it is not the same survey. do i get credit for this or am i out of luck? that would be really crappy as i got no surveys at all yesterday and i really need the 90 cents.:confused::(

I'm in the same boat and have no clue why it isn't working. The last one I completed (and got credit for) was May 1st. Since then, I keep getting the exceeded limit message.

[iluvamystery89]

i didn't have any luck earlier this morning, so i waited until after i ate lunch and used my other e-mail address and i got one! don't give up guys! :woohoo:

I think that the amp survey in the offer list can only be taken once, so if you got credit for it already, I don;t think that you will get credit again. Although, I could be wrong.

The regular OTX in the surveys tab can be taken every 24 hours for .75 credits

This happened to me today too - I waited until 24 hours after yesterday's credited, but still had that message. Cleared cookies, too. And now all it says is that there are no surveys for me. I have asked OTX about it but anytime I send them a question thru their tech support I never get any response.
I'm feeling a bit peeved - I wish that they would adjust their system so that you could take one at any time during a 24 hr time period between 12 midnight and 12 midnight, one regular day. But if they won't/can't, guess that's how it is.

[MooseBrains]

Lanny,

I am sorry you having such a hard time. Just the little bit does add of so it is ok to peeved! If you find out what is wrong please let us know. I got this message just now:

There are no surveys available at this time.

We’re sorry, but all of our available surveys have received the necessary number of participants at this time and are now closed. We apologize for any inconvenience. Please be sure to keep an eye out for our next survey invitation!

Thank you for taking the time to share your opinion. I took my DS all weekend and only 1 showed up. But I knew the ice cream was going to fail.

I hope all is well. I am still waiting for the OTX for today. I think I took it about 5 pm yesterday.

[toystoryduo]

Quick question.... If you don't qualify for the first survey and you click on the link to try another survey, will you get credit or should you clear cookies, go back to SR, and then try again? (Hope this question makes sense. ;) )

[SunshineGirl]

I just took one where after about 10 minutes it said that I didn't qualify but asked me to take another. I clicked on the link, took the next one, and got credit. :)

[toystoryduo]

Thanks Tricia! :) I wasn't sure if I could just try the second survey or if I had to go back into SR to get the credit.

[marcymajor]

got my first completed otx survey this morning - first time since saturday.:cooldance:

[iluvamystery89]

congrats! :woohoo:

[marcymajor]

thanks - i really appreciated that. have a great day.:sunshine2:

[lanny76]

Glad you got one marcy! All I got for an option yesterday was a cell phone survey, after which it said I didn't qualify for any surveys. This morning, says the same thing - so, are there no other surveys at all available or what besides this cell phone one??!!

[SunshineGirl]

I'm guessing that the more often you do them, the harder it is to get them because they only have so many a month. I don't usually do them but tried one last night to test the link. I didn't qualify on the first one but then qualified on the second one and the credit went through just fine.

[marcymajor]

congrats on getting one tricia.:sunshine: wouldn't you think that since it is the beginning of the month they are likely to have more surveys not less but you never know. i have found recently that it takes a lot of luck and persistence to get a survey so everyone just keep trying. it will eventually pay off in the end. have a great day all.:)

[lanny76]

I DID manage to finally get one - and then it stuck in the middle, saying service unavailable. So I thot great, no credit, no more surveys, but I kept trying to refresh it just in case, and after a few minutes was able to complete it!!

[marcymajor]

that is totally excellent:rotfl: i'm really glad that you got one. see, persistence does pay off. have a great day.:sunshine2:

[MdCaterer]

I just have to ask has anyone evr gotten through the one about gaming systems?????

[iluvamystery89]

i haven't, they ask every day and every day they kick me out of that one.

[zummi525]

well has anybody had trouble having them credit today? i did one this morning it has been little over an hour with no credit and when i went to try to take another one it gave me the you have exceeded and try again in 23 hours message so maybe it just slow today? who know just wanted to vent since have been able to qualify for one for a few days

[iluvamystery89]

i don't know how they do things, but i finished a survey about 10:48 and it credited on the hour. i hope yours credits too!

[Blessing and Miracle]

DS took a movie survey yesterday and it never credited!:(

[StitchandPooh'smom]

Aargh! I just spent 30 minutes doing a diary of my day yesterday (in 30 minute increments), then answering a bunch of questions about TV habits, gaming habits, computer usage and cell phone usage. I completed the classification questions (including my sexual preference - not sure why OTX always wants to know that! :rotfl:), clicked the button to redirect, THEN it said I didn't qualify! :computer: It is like the OTX surveys of old - long and pointless!

[jjskribs]

I just completed the same "diary" one. It took me a good 45 minutes to complete it. I didn't get credit on the hour for it! :computer:

[StitchandPooh'smom]

So sorry! It was a lot of work for a survey, particularly one that didn't credit! :computer:

[MooseBrains]

I have taken the gaming one and always get kicked out. Also kicked out of the NFL one, and the hard drinks one.

I am not the kind of person they want I guess.

[T1nkrules]

After getting excited I had an OTX and answering half way through the diary...I was kicked out...:( Ahhh! but there's always tomorrow! :sunshine:

PS...the NFL and hard rinks don't like me either....:p

[kxmeeh]

I have a questions about the otx surveys. I never did them before yesterday. I was so surprised when it credited within about 2 hours. I did one again this am, around 9 am, and it has not credited yet (it' almost 10 pm). what is the normal timeframe? thanks!!

[ligrumpygirl]

Others will correct me if I am wrong but I believe you have to wait 24 hours.

[KarlaG4Kids]

Has anyone had problems with these...I was accepted for the survey and took about 25 minutes of it and then all of a sudden it said I didn't qualify. I did not leave the survey and I put the correct answer when it prompts you to put a certain number on a line (to make sure you are paying attention and actually reading the survey). Anyone else have problems like this. It makes me want to not try to take anymore of them because it is a total waste of time.

[sunshineanddaisys]

It can happen...For example, the compnay may be looking for answers from people who, I don't know....love cheese, and if you don't, they may not want your opinions....you just gotta keep trying....

[mom2ian]

I was taking a long one about clothing stores, it said to click next to veiw an advertisement and kicked me out. I don't normally have problems with these that one must be messed up.

[KarlaG4Kids]

The clothing store one was the same one I had trouble with. It just doesn't seem right that you can spend a long time taking it and then it cancels you for no reason. GRRR But, I'm glad to know it must have just been a glitch. Thanks.

OTX surveys typically credit on the hour - sometimes two hours if you finish close to the top of the hour. I have had some that did not credit despite getting the Thank you page. Hope yours credits for you! :sunshine:

Did you clear cookies first? If not that is probably what happened (found the cookie from the previous day, and though you already rec'd credit, so didn't get it again.)

Just make sure to clear cookies before doing an OTX.

[kxmeeh]

it didn't credit. I honestly don't know if cookies have ever been cleared on this comuter, if they were, it had to be from my husband. I know it probably doesn't belong on this thread, but can anyone talk me through it? I am not very computer literate, so small, simple words please :rotfl:

Very easy and they should be cleared inbetween OTX and offers that you do. Daily is recommended.

Tools --> internet options --> delete cookies ----> delete temp internet files then you should be good!

[kxmeeh]

okay, I cleared cookies (was that suppose to make all of my dropdown choices disappear in my web browers?) and completed a survey, we'll see what happens. thanks!


update: I got the credit for this one!!

[fourfoxesinpa]

WHOA! Now I've seen everything. I was trying to take an OTX survey and got thrown into, what I think was, a German language survey. I didn't understand what the boxes meant and what I checked. I hope I checked the right demographics so I don't get in trouble...I didn't qualify anyway.

[marcymajor]

is it me or otx? i have been trying since around 9:30 this morning to get a survey (24 hours since my last one) and i keep getting the message that i have exceeded my limit for the day. how is that possible as it has been well over 24 hours since i took one and it credited. i have cleared out all my cookies and deleted all my temp files so i do not know why this happening to me again. i was having good luck the last 2 days with otx but now i can't get anything. totally confused.:confused:

[MooseBrains]

I did great on OTX last month but have only got 2 this month. I guess I am done with them. I keep trying.

Also, I got the exceeded message but that just means to try back later, 8 hours , in the day. You were still inside a time limit window.

[marcymajor]

i thought the time limit window was 24 hours and it has been well over that. guess, i will try again later today. thanks and have a great day.:sunshine:
